DennisA cute little bee fly during its patrol. It was hovering in the same spot, constantly chasing away other insects entering its territory. <a href="https://metapixl.com/discover/tags/photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://metapixl.com/discover/tags/wildlife?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildlife</a> <a href="https://metapixl.com/discover/tags/insect?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#insect</a> <a href="https://metapixl.com/discover/tags/beefly?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beefly</a> <a href="https://metapixl.com/discover/tags/canon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#canon</a> <a href="https://metapixl.com/discover/tags/canonphotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#canonphotography</a> <a href="https://metapixl.com/discover/tags/darktable?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#darktable</a> <a href="https://metapixl.com/discover/tags/darktableprocessed?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#darktableprocessed</a> <a href="https://metapixl.com/discover/tags/eosr6markii?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eosr6markii</a> <a href="https://metapixl.com/discover/tags/ef100f28lmacroisusm?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ef100f28lmacroisusm</a> <a href="https://metapixl.com/discover/tags/flyinginsect?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flyinginsect</a> <a href="https://metapixl.com/discover/tags/macro?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#macro</a> <a href="https://metapixl.com/discover/tags/macrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#macrophotography</a>

LionelBYet another Dark-banded bee fly. They are extremely abundant this year. I had no idea though that the little Platycheirus albimanus (I think) hoverfly was present. With the shallow depth of field, they must be almost touching. A dramatic defence of territory by the smaller insect?<a href="https://expressional.social/tags/insect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#insect</a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/BeeFly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BeeFly</a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/ecology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ecology</a>

Lemon DiscoA short video of a cute bee-fly from the garden, having a feed on the grape hyacinths. They must like these flowers as they return frequently.

LionelBAnother Dark-edged Bee Fly (Bombylius major).Several of these were hovering but at around 20cm off the ground, in open sunshine over dried mud. The Eristalis were also hovering but at around 1.7m and kept close to the hedge. These were also hanging around their mining bee hosts.<a href="https://expressional.social/tags/BeeFly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BeeFly</a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#insects</a>
